Casio Launches Limited-Edition Digital Pianos

Casio America, Inc . and its parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of new, limited-edition digital pianos to commemorate the launch of its first electronic musical instrument introduced in January 1980. The new AP-6 limited-edition model joins the CELVIANO® lineup of digital pianos featuring refined cabinet designs and the new PX-3 limited-edition model represents the latest addition to the Privia®

family of stylish digital pianos.

In December 2009, Casio celebrated a milestone of selling 70 million digital keyboards, pianos and other musical instruments, just 30 years after entering the electronic musical instrument market with the release of the first and highly regarded Casiotone 201 keyboard. Using Casio’s original digital technology, the Casiotone 201 could replicate the tones of a variety of instruments. Since then, Casio has expanded its business to align with the concept of sharing the joy of music with as many people as possible. Along the way, Casio contributed to an expansion in the number of music lovers by releasing a variety of digital instruments that enabled more and more people to easily and conveniently enjoy natural, beautiful sounds.

To commemorate the 30 years since the release of the Casiotone 201, Casio has equipped these new digital pianos with specially designed features such as a “Limited Edition Inscription.” The new models also make the most of Casio’s highly acclaimed technologies for basic performance including the company’s original Linear Morphing AIF Sound Source technology which realistically reproduces the fine nuances of a grand piano, from lilting pianissimos to powerful fortissimos. The Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard allows for exceptional playability. The company will offer a limited release worldwide of 2,000 AP-6 models and 3,000 PX-3 models to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Equipped with a high-output amplifier and four 2-way speakers, a damper pedal with continuous half-pedal operation, 250 various instrument tones, and an SD memory card slot, the AP-6 inherits the high specs of the AP-620 flagship model.
